Extremely comfortable luxury tent "glamping"experience, wonderful staff, amazing chef Ryan, fantastic game viewing. Elephants, lions, buffalo, leopard, giraffes, rhino and hippos seen every game drive. Tanda Tula has a lovely open air lounge and bar area with crackling fireplaces and attentive staff.

Everything was wonderful about Tanda Tula. Luxurious tent with the most comfortable beds, large bathroom and outside shower, excellent staff who couldn't do enough to make you welcome, delicious and imaginative cuisine and exciting game drives with very knowledgeable guide and tracker. Very well organised, never a dull moment.

My husband and I chose Tanda Tula for our first safari experience and had an amazing time! The attention to detail at this camp is truly commendable. The staff was so friendly and accommodating that we immediately felt welcomed into their "family." There was not one thing we could have possibly needed that wasn't already provided. The tent had an... More

Can't beat Tanda Tula for all it has to offer and for the service from everyone working there. They really go out of their way to make people happy and enjoy their stay. Game drives are informative and enjoyable made even better by the early morning coffee trays to get one up for the drive. Enjoy a drink over looking... More

Having been on safari several times, my husband decided he wanted to spend his 50th Birthday in the African Bush. We chose Tanda Tula as this was the only lodge in the Kruger area that would confirm, in advance a private vehicle. As a place to celebrate this was a good choice. We were well looked after throughout our stay.... More

Tanda Tula is the most incredible place we have ever visited. I wish there was a way to give it 10 stars. We spent 10 days in Africa beginning in Cape Town, then to Tanda Tula, and then on to Zambia. The lodge we stayed at in Zambia was a very nice place but having just left Tanda Tula, it... More

I have just come across this nice little app on the Tanda Tula website showing some of the wildlife sighting of the previous day. It's a great idea. http://www.tandatula.com/sightings-map/our-sightings-map/

Just got back last weekend from a 4 night stay at Tanda Tula (plus Cape Town) Wow! Hard to describe how magical this place is! The safari drives were outstanding; I thought they might get less exciting after you had seen all the wildlife you wanted to see, but that was not the case. We looked forward to each and... More

We returned from a four-night stay about 48 hours ago and we desperately wish we were back at camp with the wonderful people and relaxing atmosphere of Tanda Tula! This was our first trip to Africa and our first safari experience. We were three adults (my husband and me, plus my dad). I had hoped for a tented camp that... More

We stayed at Tanda Tula for the second time in November 2012 and are planning our third trip . Tanda Tula is fantastic. The staff are incredible, the food and accommodation a joy, the game viewing beyond belief. After Tanda Tula we went to Cape Town which we enjoyed and were glad we went there but wished we'd stayed longer... More
